Before you begin your search for the perfect mattress, it is important to understand the differences in the making.
Types of mattresses:
Innerspring mattress:
Most of you must be familiar with innerspring mattresses. This conventional design has kept up with the latest innovations in design and comfort. An innerspring mattress uses a framework of steel coils. The individual coils in the framework may be connected to each other forming a single unit or they may work as individual units. Again, there are differences in spring shapes, designs, coil gauge and the number of coils in a mattress. The spring framework is enclosed within foams or fiber on all sides. Some mattresses feature an additional layer of smaller springs to provide additional support.
Memory foam mattress:
Memory foams, made from viscoelastic, take the shape of your body when you sit or lie on them. The elastic nature allows them to return to the original shape when you get up. Viscoelastic is a high-density polyurethane foam. It provides support and comfort by redistributing your body weight. Memory foam mattresses may differ from one another in terms of foam density.
Being sensitive to changes in temperature and pressure, the memory foam adjusts to your body weight and heat for providing a good night’s sleep. They are also beneficial for body aches and soreness.
Gel mattress
Gel mattresses use the gel as the mattress’s support system. The gel is contained within a framework of foam. Some mattresses use the gel-based foam in the external upholstery of the mattress along with the inner framework. These gel memory foams were designed to make up for shortfalls of memory foams. Gel-based memory foam provides better air circulation while providing a balanced support.
Latex mattress:
They use latex derived from plants or petroleum product in the foam. The latex-based foam may be used in the supporting framework or in the upholstery layers or in both. Natural latex keeps you free of allergies from dust mites, mildew, and molds. Further, they provide a firm support and help in keeping your spine aligned during sleep.
Hybrid mattress
A hybrid mattress uses a combination of steel coils and foam. It is further differentiated on the basis of the kind of spring and foam it employs. It brings together the best of memory foam and the traditional spring support systems.
